Windows 7 using OSX

Post by kaoticsolja »

Ok a few very vague questions about what benefits virtual box has to offer, and what are good idea for my specs.

First of all Im running
Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
Intel i5 650 3.20 GHz
8gb ram

1.Do you have to use OSX86 to run OSX on Windows 7
2.Do I need to use osx server 64 because im a 64 bit system or according to the actuall OSX im running.
3. How much virtual memory should I dedicate to OSX? It will be used primarily for my wife because she has become accustom to mac but her laptop broke.
4. What if any benifits is there to running mac osx on your pc?

Thanks in advance for answering these questions
